Here are a few more...
"Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world."
George Bernard Shaw
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
Aldous Huxley
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
Maya Angelou
"When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable."
Clifton Paul Fadiman
"The real meaning of travel, like that of a conversation by the fireside, is the discovery of oneself through contact with other people, and its condition is self-commitment in the dialogue."
Paul Tournier
"I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine."
Caskie Stinnett
"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."
Miriam Beard
"Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased."
John Steinbeck
"A wise traveler never despises his own country."
William Hazlitt
"There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign."
Robert Louis Stevenson
"Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds."
Charles Caleb Colton
"A ship in port is safe...but that is not what ships are made for."

Barrie Kerper
"Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground."
Judith Thurman, The Hand of Distance
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
Mark Twain
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page."
Saint Augustine
"Never a ship sails out of bay but carries my heart as a stowaway."
Roselle Mercier Montgomery
"Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety; and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name."
Alice Meynell
"Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all."
Brian Jackman

Picasso: It does so look like her!
Van Gogh: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, what?...speak up!
Columbus: Let's hope I am right about this earth is round theory.
